North Carolina Personalized Assessment Tool

Purpose and Overview

The North Carolina Personalized Assessment Tool is a system of through-course assessment opportunities aimed towards a balanced assessment system that will provide granular data for immediate feedback about students’ performance throughout the year. The system is currently being developed as a pilot under the U.S Department of Education’s Innovative Assessment Demonstration Authority (IADA).

The current design purposes of North Carolina Personalized Assessment Tool are:

  • To provide educators, students, and stakeholders with immediate and detailed feedback on grade level specific content standards so classroom instruction may be tailored to individual student’s needs;
  • To provide a progress indicator for each interim on individual student’s performance in relation to overall grade level performance expectation (anticipated availability in the 2022–23 school year for Grades 4 and 7 in Reading and Mathematics); and
  • To serve as a reliable indicator to determine appropriate staged adaptive summative assessment that will provide an academic achievement level for students and for the statewide accountability model.
